Hispanic Heritage Month is a month-long celebration of Hispanic and Latino history and culture. While we celebrate Hispanic and Latino communites beyond this month, from September 15 to October 15 we give extra recognition to the many contributions made to the history and culture of the United States, including important advocacy work, vibrant art, popular and traditional foods, and much more. Hispanic Heritage Month provides an additional opportunity to explore the incredible impact Latinas and Latinos have had on the United States for generations. The Latino presence in America spans centuries, predating Spain’s colonization of what is now part of the United States, and they have been an integral part of shaping our nation since the Revolutionary War. Through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and the Treaty of Paris that followed the Mexican-American and Spanish-American wars, the United States gained territories in the Southwest and Puerto Rico. This incorporated the people of this area into the United States and further expanded the presence of Hispanic Americans. — Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino #Diversity #DiversityAndInclusion #inclusion

National Hispanic Heritage Month 2024: September 15th through October 15th #HispanicHeritageMonth #LatinxHeritageMonth Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated each year from September 15 to October 15. It began as a week-long celebration in 1968 under President Johnson and was expanded to a month by President Reagan 20 years later in 1988. The month-long celebration provides more time to properly recognize the significant contributions Hispanic/Latino Americans have made in the United States. Hispanic Heritage Month does not cover one single month but instead begins in the middle of September and ends in the middle of October. The timeframe of this month is significant because many Central American countries celebrate their independence days within these dates, beginning on September 15 with Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. By aligning with these independence dates, Hispanic Heritage Month honors the resilience and determination of the Hispanic community. Key Independence Days celebrated within Hispanic Heritage Month include: September 16 – Mexico September 18 – Chile September 21 - Belize

🎉 Hispanic Heritage Month, observed from September 15 to October 15, marks the independence celebrations of several Latin American countries.

From business ownership to cultural contributions, our impact is undeniable. 📊 But here’s the real takeaway: Year-round engagement with the Hispanic community is key. Now’s the time to make Hispanic outreach an integral part of your strategy. Consistent, culturally competent, and authentic messaging will ensure your brand resonates beyond this one month.

Women's Energy Network Global would like to take a moment to recognize #HispanicHeritageMonth #HispanicHeritageMonth is a month-long (Sept 15th - Oct 15th) celebration of Hispanic and Latino history and culture. Latinas and Latinos have always held significant roles throughout our country’s history, dating all the way back to the American Revolution. Hispanic Heritage Month is important because it provides an opportunity to celebrate the integral part the Hispanic/Latino community has had in growing and strengthening our democracy. #Didyouknow: Hispanic and Latino are the two most used terms to describe Americans with Latin American and Caribbean ancestry. You may often see these terms used interchangeably, but different people understand and use these terms differently. The National Museum of the American Latino uses the term “Latino” to describe the diverse residents of the United States with cultural or ancestral ties to Latin America or the Caribbean. For many, the term "Latino" also creates room for acknowledging Black, Indigenous, Asian, and other heritages on equal terms with European ancestry. The term “Hispanic” is used to signal a connection to Spain or the Spanish language. #womeninenergy #diverisity #inclusion #hispanicheritage

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, D&A recognizes the incredible contributions of our Hispanic and Latino/a/e friends, neighbors, and colleagues. From advocacy to equity-driven initiatives, we’re committed to lifting up all voices and ensuring that everyone’s story is heard. You might wonder, what’s the difference between Hispanic and Latino/a/e? 🤔 Hispanic refers to individuals with roots in Spanish-speaking countries, emphasizing language. On the other hand, Latino/a/e refers to people from Latin American countries, focusing on geography, regardless of whether they speak Spanish, Portuguese, or Indigenous languages. Both terms celebrate vibrant, diverse cultures that enrich our communities in unique ways. This month, we honor the history, culture, and influence of these communities, who continue to inspire our work toward a more inclusive, just society. #HispanicHeritageMonth #EquityFirst #CelebrateDiversity #InclusionInAction

Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to honor and celebrate the rich culture, history, and contributions of the Hispanic and Latinx community in the United States. But it is also a time to reflect on the challenges we face, particularly the racism and discrimination that have long tried to diminish our power and erase our voices. Throughout history, Hispanics have endured systemic racism, from discriminatory immigration policies to racial profiling and social exclusion. We have been told that we don't belong, that we are less than, or that our heritage somehow makes us "other." Yet, time and again, we have risen above these injustices with resilience and strength. We refuse to let prejudice define us, and we will never allow anyone to bring us down. Our power lies not only in our numbers but in the richness of our diversity, the strength of our communities, and the pride we take in our roots. We are a vital force in shaping this country, contributing to every industry, every cultural movement, and every social change. We are leaders, artists, activists, and innovators. We are the heartbeat of America, and no amount of racism or hatred will silence our voices or diminish our impact. Hispanic Heritage Month is more than just a celebration; it is a reminder of our unshakable power and our unwavering determination to keep pushing forward. We stand tall, united in the face of adversity, and we will continue to rise, ensuring that our stories, our heritage, and our contributions are forever woven into the fabric of this nation. #HispanicHeritageMonth #UnstoppableVoices #LatinxPower #UnitedWeRise #ProudAndResilient #SomosElFuturo #StrongerTogether #NoMoreSilence #CelebratingOurHeritage #BreakingBarriers #OurStoriesMatter #HonoringOurRoots

Today, September 15, kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month! While we celebrate our culture, music, and achievements, let’s not lose sight of the work that still needs to be done. We ain’t there yet mi gente 🫡 “Latinos, like other communities of color, still face job segregation. A 2021 study found that Hispanic workers are underrepresented in higher-paying or managerial positions. We’ve come a long way, but there’s still more to achieve.” #HispanicHeritageMonth #LatinoEmpowerment #JobEquity #DiversityAndInclusion #LatinosInLeadership #RepresentationMatters #EquityAtWork #CelebrateAndAdvocate #HispanicHeritage #WeAintThereYet #BreakingBarriers
